However, currently registered students (and Authorized Payers) must retrieve their billing statements online. An E-Bill is an official billing statement in PDF format that is available online for students and Authorized Payers to view, save, and print. The E-Bill includes all student account transactions such as: payments received, and charges and credits for tuition, fees, and housing.
